Indeed, this is a very fast ferry service, as the ferries take about 2 and a half hours on this route, with the ferries reaching a top speed of about 32 knots. However, there may be variations in sail times due to weather conditions, so be sure to check before you travel to find out what your estimated sail time will be.

What facilities does Fort Lauderdale have?

As Fort Lauderdale is such a small terminal, and hosts only one ferry company, there is not much here at the terminal. There are the basics of Wi-Fi and toilets, and there is a car park opposite the terminal, although this does cost extra to park at. There are vending machines inside the terminal, and there is main road just beside it, which also has a local bus stop where you can easily access the main town centre.
